As I sail through week one of the Jewel of July painting challenge, I'm making great progress on the Knight-Castigator. Washes are down, and even some highlights have gone onto the legs (dry-brushing). The legs are fully assembled now, with armor plates and banner attached.
I decided to take a break from the mundane and put some work into the sword last night. I took inspiration from the old Duncan GW method for Custodes power weapons and combined it with an approach from Spikey Bits, though using standard brushes and not air brushing the crackling energy.
The body details are almost done. I have to complete the work on the chest cabling so I can attach the armor. Some bits can be seen in the pic below. Apparently, I didn't capture any images that illustrate the bony details any better.
The Castigator bolt cannon is coming along well. What a bullet hose that thing looks like. Yikes. Here is the bucket of bullets. Seems like about 30 - 45 seconds worth of ammo for that cannon unless it has a seriously slow rate of fire...
So as week one of the Jewel of July passes on, we're looking in a great position to complete this model during the challenge. Which means I'll have to look for the next thing to complete, since the challenge is about completing projects. Heh, but I shouldn't get ahead of myself. There is a lot of work yet to do, including the untouched base.
Best of luck for all the other challenges out there. Stay safe.
Cheers and Happy Gaming!
That sword is huge!!! And I don't know why but the ammo belt feed looks deadly!
